“Show Master Howler some respect. Leave half of everything behind and let’s get going.”
They started moving upon Grace’s orders. Some took the jewelry with them, while some loaded themselves with the Soul Elixir. Though they were instructed to leave half of them behind, they all took more than they should.
Nevertheless, Damien turned a blind eye to this even though he already saw right through them.
Dustin’s power was so intimidating that everyone was extremely wary of him now. They dared not take the risk, nor did they want to go against him. If a commotion broke out, they would most likely end up with nothing.
After all, the palace was surrounded by different forces. If the fight didn’t end well for both parties, there would be other forces who would gladly benefit from it.
As a result, Grace and her companions stepped out of the Underwater Palace with their loaded bags.
Though the elites of Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect were itching to lunge at them, they didn’t budge. All of them wouldn’t stand a chance against Dustin unless Damien was willing to put his life at stake to fight him.
“I didn’t expect us to be able to get out this quickly, and we’re even loaded with these goods. This is really a blessing in disguise!”
Jackson still barely recovered from the terror even after he left the palace.
After all, they had just faced off against the elites of Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect. Even the top elite in the southwest, Damien, was present too.
Their forces were enough to tear a place to pieces. Even the Embersteel Order would be overshadowed by them.
Thus, he didn’t have any hope in the beginning. He thought he was already fortunate enough for his life to be spared.
However, the outcome wasn’t like anything they expected. Not only did they get out safely, they even secured most of the Soul Elixir and jewelry. They were thrilled.
“It’s all thanks to Dustin that we were able to get out of there safely! If he didn’t defeat the elites of Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect, we’ll probably be in deep waters by now.
Sophia shot multiple coquettish glances at Dustin as she flattered him. She was eager to show her affection for him.
“You’re right! It’s all thanks to Dustin that we had all these goods with us. Thanks, Dustin!”
Jackson expressed his gratitude earnestly. At this point, he didn’t just admire Dustin-he respected him.
He had a bright future laid since he could defeat the guild of Frostwing Sect at such a young age. Dustin seemed so distant yet mighty to Jackson.
“We are all on the same boat, so it’s only right that we look after each other. There’s no need for the pleasantries. If you really want to thank someone, thank Ms. Linsor. I’m merely obeying orders,” Dustin said with a smile.
“Thank you so much, Ms. Linsor!” they all said in unison.
“Don’t mention it, everyone. This isn’t exactly the safest place to linger, so let’s leave now.”
Without further ado, Grace led them away from the dried lake and took shelter in the woods.
She gave away half of their spoils, now wanting to cause further trouble. There were spies everywhere. If they didn’t make it out of there in time, they would be in deep trouble.
Now, she would have to leave Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect to deal with the problems.
They didn’t rest. Grace led them throughout the night, retreating to the same route they used when they came.
They had earned treasures that would allow them to live the rest of their lives luxuriously, so there was no longer the need to put their lives at stake.
Furthermore, Grace was delighted since she obtained the Spirit Core and Dracan essence. Their temporary team did return from a rewarding journey indeed.
They spent the night without any lurking dangers. At the crack of dawn, they were back at the borders of the oasis.
